The Last of Us license is due to return soon in a 100% multiplayer episode. To celebrate ten years since the release of the first opus (and yes already!), the Naughty Dog studio has just shared concept art. What give us a taste of the atmosphere of the game.
While the HBO series The Last of Us is due to land on HBO Max this January 15, 2023, you may know that the post-apocalyptic license will soon return with a brand new opus, this time 100% multiplayer.
This was confirmed in June 2022, with the release of a first official image during the Summer Game Fest. For the moment, the Naughty Dog studio has not shared any information on the title, whether it is the release date or the different gameplay mechanics.
Despite everything and on this January 4, 2023, the year that will mark the tenth anniversary of the series, the developers wanted to mark the occasion by unveiling new concept art of this mysterious episode. You can see an abandoned cruise liner, which has suffered the ravages of time and bad weather. We see at the foot of the iron monster two approaching survivors, who probably intend to explore the ship in search of precious resources.
